Best location for Vina Del Mar travel
Pros:

973
The way the boutique owners treated us (my fiancée and me) was incredible. They were flexible with check-in, provided secure private parking (parking in the city can be tricky), and treated us with great courtesy and excellence from the moment we arrived until we left.

The boutique is perfect—simply perfect. The location is excellent; I didn't use my car at all and did everything on foot. It was quiet and comfortable.

It was the best breakfast I had during my entire trip (to Chile)!

Since we had an early flight, we had to leave early (7:00 AM)—about an hour and a half before breakfast service officially began. I was amazed by the owners' thoughtfulness in preparing a tray of coffee and snacks for us so we could have something to eat before and during our journey. It is this kind of personal service that wins over a customer; I am at a loss for words to express my gratitude for the service we received during our stay.

Cons:

THEY WERE PERFECT!

Consigliatissimo! Zona sicura e a distanza di 15 minuti dalla Metro e 5 minuti dal lungomare
Pros:

Proprietari gentilissimi, posizione (molti ristoranti nei dintorni), giardino, design della struttura, colazione, bagno spazioso, pulizia, parcheggio davanti alla struttura. I proprietari hanno anche un ristorante dove si mangia benissimo.

Cons:

Le camere sono un po' piccole per un soggiorno molto lungo, avevamo due valigie grandi e due trolley ma comunque ci si adatta. Letti alla francese, ma credo che date le dimensioni della stanza letti più grandi non ci sarebbero stati.

Lovely, retreat like setting
Pros:

The Esencia is a beautiful, quaint boutique hotel with lovely architecture and landscaping. When you enter, you feel like you are in a retreat. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to get an extra room for our son on the day of our check in. The breakfast included a variety of options - granola, fresh fruit, yogurt, and charcuterie. Each guest could choose the style of eggs to accompany the meal - poached, fried, scrambled. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will be back.

Pequeño oasis en la ciudad
Pros:

La ubicación a pocos pasos de restaurantes, servicios, bares, etc. El desayuno muy variado y rico. Muy tranquilo para descansar.

Cons:

El estacionamiento es en un pasaje cerrado. Si bien es seguro, no siempre hay lugar aunque el dueño nos aseguró que se buscaría una solución de ser así.
